Every month (sometimes twice a month) a bunch of us meet at the Bear Mountain Inn to practice how to learn weight training with our dogs.. Leslie H runs the training, and harnesses are available for dogs 40 lbs and under to practice with. After the practice, we take the dogs for a nice leisurely walk around the lake, and then into the woods .. Normally we are there for around 4 hours to start.. Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend, with or without your dogs its up to you.. parking at the Inn is $6 unfortunately. no charge to learn how to properly weight pull . we normally meet at 1pm at the Inn, and then go from there to practice.. bring water, bowl, poop bag, and a snack for yourself. we have a blast doing it, and its a great chance to get your dogs out for socializing. our next meeting is Saturday April 4th at 1pm weather permitting...

Date has been changed to 4/5 due to rain.

please ignore the rules about dogs being muzzled, i called the Park committee and they said that is OLD and dogs do not need to be muzzled unless the owner feels they should..
